Chua Kim Yeow (28 January 1926 – 21 August 2016) was a Singaporean banker and presidential candidate at the 1993 presidential election, the first election in Singapore to have a president elected by citizens instead of Parliament. Chua was unsuccessful, only garnering 41.31% of the vote as compared to Ong Teng Cheong's 58.69%, who became the fifth president.
A civil servant, Chua also served multiple roles at many companies along with becoming the first local accountant-general, serving in that role for 18 years.
